I think their prices are so much better than what's out there. Again, Just one more screw removed from the inside of the fairing would make "re-installation" of the bolt so much easier and faster. In the meantime I found a bolt and made a spacer. So it should be resolved and they are sending me the correct spacer and bolts. I contacted T-Rex and they said they need to update the instructions and bolts provided as the diagram/picture in the instructions was done with the Prototype. When looking from above the gap was bigger on the left than the right. But I ran into a problem where the left case cover was not parallel to the case itself. The slider mounting looks well thought out and I think they'll do just as good a job as anything else. With the Sliders, definitely pay attention to which bolt goes where. I would say, removing panels makes the job easier and I feel less chance of breaking something rather than pulling on panels to get tools in there. Installed the T-Rex Frame Sliders, Case Savers, and Radiator Guard. The second is a close-up where you can see the brake lever guard (taken before I'd installed the frame sliders). ![]() In the first pic you can see the frame sliders and axle sliders (excuse the cones/tape measure). For how much I love my RS 660, I didn't mind the extra time/cost of these items if there's a 1% chance it'll protect it, but everyone has a different level of tolerance/paranoia. where it'll be required anyway and figured on the chance it falls over on the brake lever, that it might protect it, and threw the axle sliders on because they're cheap and take 5 minutes to install. I threw the brake lever guard on because I plan to do track days etc. The frame sliders because they'll take the brunt of the impact if it low sides or falls over (while being locked into the frame of the bike itself), and the radiator guard because I took the bike out without one for a few miles and realized regular road debris (gravel) had already dinged the radiator with less than 10 miles on the bike. That said, the two items that give me the most comfort are the frame sliders and the radiator guard. Take my opinion with a grain of salt because I've never wrecked a bike and am a new rider. Trying to find the 80/20, what is the minimum items to get that would protect 80+% of the time.Yeah, there's a lot of stuff out there, and a lot of opinions to go with it. Trying to find the 80/20, what is the minimum items to get that would protect 80+% of the time.ĭo you feel these gives ample protection? The choices and items for protection out there now is overwhelming. It only had one mounting point, and their instructions for removing the fairings completely miss a step where you need to remove an 8mm bolt (which could be no bueno if you don't know better).Do you feel these gives ample protection? The choices and items for protection out there now is overwhelming. Evotech frame sliders ("Crash Bobbins") - I like these because they have two mounting points and installed perfectly snug the first time. I have no idea how well any of it works and I hope to never find out. a quality torque wrench) and comfort removing the fairings. All were fairly simple to install, assuming access to proper tools (incl. Apologies, as I haven't owned 1-2 years, but maybe this helps. These could get sheared off.I just installed this stuff on my new RS 660 this past week, so it's fresh in my mind. The stock exhaust will hit them when your swingarm starts to play specially on speed bumps. If your kit came with free swingarm spools, don't forget to remove them after use. ![]() Although I really don't want to get to the point of being able to use them, they seem sturdy enough.īy the way, I put a drop of screw sealant in the thread just to make sure they don't loosen up due to vibration. A friend of mine installed his t-rex and tightened one bolt before inserting the next one, he had to untighten the first one because of this. This will make sure the slider bolts in straight and you have room to adjust if necessary. Remember not to install one bolt all the way through but to just install the first one until it catches on some thread, leave it and install another bolt and do the same. They should fit as per instructed installation. A bit of struggle tho on some bolts but they didn't break any of my tools. ![]()
